If the vast vast majority of Americans want reasonable gun controls and they can't get passed by the Congress then our democracy is broken. Or to be more accurate, it has been corrupted. The consciences and reason of our DC leaders have been purchased...for a pittance. Stop the $$ to stop the guns.

“Post-liberalism” means two things:
1) I like the fascism, but I don’t think of myself as the sort of person who’d be into something so uncouth.
2) The woke made me do it, but since everyone’s opposed to liberty now, why don’t we acknowledge that some races, genders, and religions are lesser.

No surprise: new analysis shows that heat pumps can deliver excellent performance even in older buildings with no meaningful correlation between building age & heat pump efficiency.
This is in line with my own experience of having a heat pump in a 1880 Victorian home with only modest insulation.

Australia allowed the government to tap internet user metadata in 2015, supposedly to root out terrorist threats. Since then, it has been routinely accessed by agencies all over the nation, even by local councils. The message? Government will always abuse private data once it has it in its hands.

I hate to watch Australia mimic America in enabling special interests thru corrupt campaign donations!
Just because it’s legal doesn’t make it less corrupt
The proposed laws would also effectively quadruple political donation caps to almost $50,000 by one donor over the four-year parliamentary term.
